If this is an NTFS permission issue then you may need to
seize ownership of these files and folders.

Your response does not provide much information about
what you did and what messages (if any) you saw. A good
starting point would be to click Start / Help. Click the Search
tab, type Ownership , then double-click "Take ownership
of a file or folder".

When posting again, remember that we cannot see your PC.
Unless you post detailed information, you will receive nothing
other than guesses.
